Let's get this major announcement out of the way first: With the following trades, I'm up to 294 completed Time Travel Trades! When I was approaching the 200 trade mark, I held a little contest where the 200th official trade got to pick any card in the Time Travel trade stack for free! I think I should do that again, don't you? My 300th Time Traveling Trade partner will get any card in the stack of their choice!
We'll kick things off with the winner of that 200th Trade contest, Greg (Night Owl Cards). He picked up some fun cards, and sent fun cards in return.
Maybe the 300th trade will come from Bo (Baseball Cards Come To Life!). This is our 50th Time Travel trade, and it has become an annual tradition that Bo takes any unclaimed cards whenever I add a pack from the latest base set. Bo sent back cards full of star power, with 7 Hall of Famers (plus Barry Bonds).
You may have noticed that the photo on the left contains one less card than it's counterpart. I had to do a bit of creative angling to get a decent shot of the Denny's Hologram:
Maybe the winner won't be one of the "Big 3", but one of the many others who have traded with me. John (Adventures Of A Baseball Card Collector) has traded with me each of the past 3 months, and is climbing that honored leader board of Time Travelers. He picked up a trio of cards from 2024 as well as a trio from 1955. Great cards come back my way:
Our last trade for today comes once again from Greg (Night Owl Cards). He snagged the 2024 Dodgers I had listed, along with some "old" cards. Here's what came back:
Thanks again to Greg, Bo, Brendan, and John! The kickoff to 300 begins! Maybe the lucky 300th trader will be you? There's only one way to find out!
As always,
these cards are all available in exchange for an older card. You can claim your cards below, or through the TCDB (Kep75). Let's make some trades!

The Time Travel Trading Project is simple in concept. I started out with a random pack of 2018 Topps Series 1 baseball cards. My aim was to trade every card in that pack for something older. Each card I receive in turn is then made available for trade, with the goal to get the oldest card I can get.
Number of trades completed: 294 (1 pending!)
Unique trading partners: 73
Number of cards mailed out: 1,602
Year of oldest card mailed out: 1910-11
Number of cards received: 2,347
Year of oldest card received: 1890
Some really nice ones this month!
ReplyDeleteFor now I am going to claim Cal Abrams '52 Bomwan, John Roseboro '61 Post, Jose Berrios '22 Stadium Club, Dawson '86 Fleer Sticker, and Rosen '90 Pacific. Don't mail anything yet as I am going to try to get some older cards for some of those other Bowmans if they don't get claimed!
Thank you!
Can I add the Clemens Score Impact Player, Galarraga Denny's, '22 Marte, and '22 Urias?
DeleteThat will be it for now. If I get older traders before next month I'll claim some more to add to next month's trade.
Thank you!
The Denny's Galarraga got claimed in a TCDB trade. The rest are yours!
DeleteThank you!
DeleteWow, almost at 300 already? Seems like 200 was not that long ago. I'm picking only a couple so feel free to hold on to them until the next round.

Yeah, I was surprised too. I could have sworn it was in the past calendar year. I'll be happy to hold those two for you until you get a chance to add some more.
